Specification forming part of VLetters Patent N o. l 86,549, dated January 23, 1877; application filed November 6, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that We, FRANK EIGHENLAUB and JOHN GABRIEL, both of Lawrenceburg, Dearborn county, Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Sash-Balances,

. of which the following is a specification:

This isa contrvance to enable the conversion of a Windowof the common solid-framed kind into one with balanced sashes. For this purpose we provide a pair of pilasters, of which each has two vertical channels for as many counter-weights of commonlor any suitable form. (lords, being attached to the sashes in the customary manner, are so led over suitable sheaves or pulleys as ,to pass around the jamb-corners, and to occupy said channels by their Weighted extremities. Thus furnished, a pair of common sashes become as completely balanced as it" provided with the most cost- 1y boXframe, and at a comparatively triliing expense.

which We attach to the corners of the frame.

The four sheaved brackets F may be precise fac-similes of one another. Our balance attachment may be quickly and cheaply applied to a common solid sash-frame, without removal thereof', and without any change or mutilation of the building in any part. The pilasters may be plain or may have any ornamental conliguration.

The essential elements of ourimprovement are the channeled pilasters E e E c and the pulleys F.' The rollers G may be dispensed with by conducting the cords through auger-holes bored obliquely through the jambs.

We claim herein as new and of our invention- The combination of channeled pilasters E e E e with sheaves or rollers F, `or their equivalents, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony ot' which invention we hereunto set our hands.

FRANK EIGHENLAUB.
